A friend used her transformational technology on me once and called it a Jedi Mind Trick. The shit works. I got the training and now my Mitochlorian rate has increased exponentially. Now I use my Jedi Mind Tricks to bring about love and transformation all over my life.

She got me to go to Burning Man and have the best one ever, when I was convinced I wasn't going to go, with no cajoling or manipulating.

It's all about the Jedi Mind Tricks.

I study "magick" as a tool for affecting the universe. The first "law of magick" is the Law of Worldviews. I have twenty-seven rules in all that I have gathered from various places. They are very much like scientific theorums which apply to what most people consider metaphysical phenomena. I think if you read over it, you will agree the Law of Worldviews (and its two sublaws) directly applies to the control of reality.

The Law of Worldviews:
The world we perceive is actually a mixture of the nominal world (the Tao, the objective reality that is unknowable but which underlies all that we think we know) and ourselves (the subjective). Changing your worldview does not change the eternal, real world, but it does change the world you perceive. That is, changing your worldview makes real changes in the world which is real to us. Because there are an infinite number of ways to perceive the world, there are also an infinite number of worlds we may assemble without awareness.

The true underlying reality is unknowable to us as long as we retain our worldview of separateness and self. You can become one with the universe but you cannot step back and observe it, because you are in it. You cannot observe a phenomenon without altering it by your mode of perception. There is no such thing as an independent observer. You participate in creating the world by perceiving it.

*The Law of Personal Universes* Every sentient being lives in and quite possibly creates a unique universe which can never be 100% identical to that lived in by another. So- called "reality" is a matter of consensus opinions.

*The Law of Infinite Universes* The total number of universes into which all possible combinations of existing phenomena could be organized is infinite. Anything is possible, though some things are more probable than others and so are easier to enact.

According to this law of magick, we live in a world of our own creation as well as an underlying or “real” world. Both worlds are real in as much as both affect us and our well-being, but the world you create through your perceptions is constantly changing based upon both the real world and your perception of it. Only your own personal world may be altered willfully. A good example of this is the use of positive affirmations. By convincing yourself of the possibility of change, you bring that change into being.

If you should manage to dissolve the illusion of separation from the nominal universe, you lose the ability to observe or alter because you have acknowledged you part in it. Attempting to alter reality immediately removes the observer to the mutable universe of perception and creation. It is only in the universes of our finite perception that changes may be put into effect because they are mutable, warped copies of the underlying universe which exists independent of our thoughts and perceptions.

Because the number of possibilities in any individual universe are infinite, so to are the types of phenomena you can cause through the application of will. However, since some phenomena are more probable than others, some will require less energy should you attempt to put them into effect. For instance, it would be easier to create a pig than a flying pig.

It is also difficult though not impossible for two (or more) people to agree upon the same phenomena. Creation of phenomena is easier with one observer (the self) and becomes successively more difficult the more (outside) observers are included. Should you manage to obtain the cooperation of other observers however, either in suspending their expectations or in focusing their wills on a joint project (through agreed upon symbolism), the bending of reality to the Will becomes easier than with only one observer/magi.

The Law of Worldviews is a valuable tool toward understanding the nominal universe and affecting the subjective universes of individuals. Application of this Law allows the creation or dispersal of energy in the form of phenomena through our selective perceptions and acceptance of possibility. If you believe you can see and communicate with fairies, angels, spirits, midichlorians, etc, then you will be able to by application of that worldview. If others share that worldview, they will be able to function partially within your world, and you within theirs. Shared perception creates a shared world through which you may affect each other. The shared world will become more real based upon the number of believers in that world. Thus if three out of four people believe enough in the presence of a spirit, they may be able to empower that entity to appear or cause phenomena the fourth non-believer may experience. It is not that we create a non-human entity (though it is possible to do so), but that we allow ourselves the option of perceiving it where others may prefer not to allow it into their personal worldview.

As for why I joined this tribe.... I felt I had something to contribute both through my study and innate talents. Proficient with a light saber I am not. I'd probably lose a limb.

MouseTrap-- Yes, indeed-- it's ALL so TRUE! The Jedi Mind Trick for ME, works within a place of surrender... beyond ego... where it is not ME who is DOING anything, so much as ALLOWING the intention to manifest with as LITTLE GUIDANCE AS POSSIBLE. Start controlling 'how', and you begin to bring in the intellectual, 'thinking' mind.

Candace...

Uhhh...

<whew>

You said it. Friggin' eh, but There It Is. A well written piece-- thank you for the time it took you to write it. You surmised in very few words what may take me PAGES to write! And you spoke of a variety of things already known, but in a way that removed unnoticed veils in my Understanding that had previously kept them as seperate. Thank you for the cleansing breath. Muchly.

Sam Das-- YOU said it, in that last message. RIGHT ON, Brother! I think also that we write as a means to get OUT what we cannot fathom within... at least that applies to ME in my writing. I know (obviously) all the stuff I write about, but sometimes-- after it's all put together-- things make alot more sense and I feel more whole. Though usually it takes me FOREVER to find JUST the right words to fully convey my emotional experience, that the reader may best experience-- in that now-- reality as it is for me. Unfortunately, I'm oftentimes too wordy, and-- though presented in grammatical correctness-- the entire sequence of my multi-dimentional expression can loose people. You know?
